Comment on The first steps in my Life Reimagined by Jamie

Well, I love your new site. You did a great job. And I too would like to reimagine my life, where writing takes the priority and not keeping the house straight or laundry. I have to change my patterns. What’s the adage — if you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep doing the same thing. Or something like that. To truly make something different haooen, we have to do things differently. I know you can — and I can too.

Heh, Jane, I know it took me a while to respond to your request about my site. And since I did not hear back I thought I would contact you again. I will also share on of most challenging issues ( not for sympathy or as an excuse). I had a stroke some time ago and while I appear fine the one lingering items is short term (although it seem a little long term to me) memory loss. I can’t remember things I did yesterday or possibly even last night. I have attempted to writing things down, but don’t remember to and when I do I lose the notebook(I have half a dozen of them with notes so scattered I can even find what I need the supposed reminder). I start a conversation on Facebook and forget I started it, I see it later and find I did not answer when someone reply. Anyway, enough of this drivel.
The reason I am contacting you again it that I am about to publish my book “the hardest conversation” which I had also sent to the editor and forgotten. So the editing is done and I have sent my details to fiiverr -I put a reminder in may calendar that she should have the cover back to me on Aug 17th, in the mean time I was wondering if you might be interested in reviewing it before I actually publish it. If you are will to do so please let me know and I will send you a pdf version. Thanks.

The scary part wasn’t going through it. The scary part is now, because I can’t trust my body to behave itself. Talk about lack of control! And for this control freak–what a life lesson this is! If you try the AARP promotion, let me know how it goes.

Hmmm… Interesting. So I’m not the only one sitting in anticipation of the fabulous fulfilling life ahead of me. I guess I have to get up and do something. Actually, I’ve been dibbling and dabbling with ideas.
Good post to get my excitement going again. I may even try the AARP promotion.
I’m glad you’re healed! That, I imagine, was scary!

Comment on Sigma Tau Alpha STS, the venerable Greek House by Jane Gassner

I’m looking at that whole social media for writers thing to add to my coaching packages. It’s definitely a different animal doing social media for a book than for a “regular” product. And age enters into it too–social media for the millennials is different from social media for those of us in midlife and beyond. And I do mean Beyond: I was in my local Apple store a couple of Saturdays ago and was shocked, pleasantly so, to see that the majority of customers buying and attending the classes were probably 60+.

The Master’s is indeed the gift that keeps on giving. Except I paid mightily for it. But then, when it became clear to me that I wasn’t ever going to practice as an MFT, I thought–oh well, consider it therapy.

There is a lot of chatter. It is work. Social media has helped my husband’s so much so that he has a media person. An author friend just told me she hired someone and she’s seeing life back into her sales. That said, it is hard to do your job and promote your product (or yourself) and be successful in both. Or without burning out. I guess there’s a psychology to burnout too. 😉
